maybe if russia is persuaded that assad is on the doorstep of defeat or suicide that russia will finally help us do a deal to get a power arrangement. i am just speculating because it is hard to think of what rational purpose these chemicals could serve. >> there hasn't been a lot of rational through some of this. one of the most frightening things is once they are launched, that's it. it is not like troops can come in from jordan to stop the inevitable death of who knows how many people. >> you are right. although, one thing i would say and i hope it is of slight solace is when these kinds of weapons are used, unless he decides to uh blight rate a whole city, if he is trying to hit at rebels, he is going to be more lethal than he has been with his artillery. ii am not sure it will rad clear increase the death toll. the death toll is already high as you have been reporting. the use of chemical agents could double it or triple it. that's obviously bad. i don't think we are looking at hundreds of thousands of people killed. i don't think he is going to use it and just blanket entire cities

russia. u.n. secretary general was asked about the asylum question today he did not seem to favor the idea. listen. >> the united nations must not allow any impunity whoever commits gross violation of human rights must be held accountable and should be brought to justice. >> that sentiment was echoed by officials at the u.s. state department who said there has to be, quote: accountability. the counter argument to that is that perhaps anything that gets assad out of syria and stops the slaughter of civilians might be worth thinking about, harris. >> some people may be wondering what happens if in fact assad does go. we still haven't seen united opposition of all those rebels to replace him. >> we certainly have not seen anything like a united opposition. the rebels say that he they are seeking more of a unified political leadership but it is hard to come by because there are so many groups involved in the opposition movement from secular democrats who began this simply as a way to gain more de
